January 21, 2016 – Countywide State of Emergency
PRESS RELEASE
Chairman Dan Ingle has signed a County-wide State of Emergency for Alamance County as of 3 pm today – following North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory who has declared a State of Emergency ahead of the approaching winter storm.
With the impending snow event that is facing Alamance County, Alamance County Emergency Management will open up its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) beginning Friday, January 22 at 5 am. This will be on a limited basis and will be in full operation at 7 am.
The EOC will operate from the Fire Marshall’s Office at the Family Justice Center in Burlington. Please call the EOC for non-emergency questions and issues, as we would like to ensure that our 911 system does not become overloaded. All emergency calls please continue to call 911. The EOC phone number is 336-570-4089.
If you have power outages, please call Duke Energy’s hotline at 800-POWERON to report power outages, not 911.
Commissioners Honor Emily Wrightenberry
On Monday, November 16 at their regular meeting, the Alamance County Commissioners honored Emily Wrightenberry. 
Ms. Wrightenberry, a former dispatcher from Central Communications (911) who has since been employed by the District Attorney’s Office as a legal aide, was honored for the performance of her duties during the early morning hours of October 13. She answered a 911 call from Bryan Wescott, who needed an ambulance for his wife, Amanda, who was in labor.
While the family waited for an ambulance, Emily talked the couple through the birth process, and Amanda delivered Esther Joy into the world (audio below).
The county commissioners honored Emily with a plaque and congratulated the parents on the birth of their daughter.
